Sharp 1804 JR-2 14 Stars Dime, XF Details

1804 10C 14 Stars on Reverse--Repaired, Whizzed--NCS. XF
Details. JR-2, R.5. The 14 Stars reverse die was used for both
dimes and quarter eagles in 1804. Only about 40 to 50 dimes of this
variety survive, along with a similar quantity of the 13 Stars
reverse variety. Demand for these coins in all grades is
considerable. As a date, 1804 is especially rare in higher grades,
and presently there are no Mint State pieces known. Only a few XF
and AU grade coins exist, while the majority of pieces survive in
low grades, typically VG or lower.
This example is sharply detailed, at least XF, but has dull and
rough surfaces. It was probably buried for a long period of time.
The centers are pewter-gray, with peripheral brown patina.
Improperly cleaned at some time, although probably not whizzed as
suggested by NCS.(Registry
values: P8) (PCGS# 4475)
